pit village / mineworker village
This is what the local residents were likely to call it at the time I used to live in one - with `pit village´ being the most frequently heard, `mineworker village´ being often used by the local press.
Apparently there aren`t many of them left these days!
And the version from Andrew is also not wrong.

: I can’t be sure that there wasn’t also a deep-mine ‘pit’ at Altendorf but it seems to have been a major area of open-cast (Tagebau) mining of lignite (Braunkohle) http://www.cohn-music.de/Tagebau-Inden-Inde-Umleitung-Indeum...
